 1. Fork <https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/> to a repo under a namespace you control, or have permission to use, example: `https://github.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/`.  You can do this from the github.com website.
 2. Clone `https://github.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/` with the tool of you choice.
 3. To keep your fork in sync with our repo, add an upstream remote for pi-hole/pi-hole to your repo.
+
     ```console
     git remote add upstream https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git
     ```

 4. Checkout the `development` branch from your clone `https://github.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/`.
 5. Create a topic/branch, based on the `development` branch code. *Bonus fun to keep to the theme of Star Trek/black holes/gravity.*
 6. Make your changes and commit to your topic branch in your repo.
 7. Rebase your commits and squash any insignificant commits.  See notes below for an example.
 8. Merge `development` your branch and fix any conflicts.
 9. Open a Pull Request to merge your topic branch into our repo's `development` branch.

 ## Forking and Cloning from GitHub to other code hosting sites
 
 - Forking is a GitHub concept and cannot be done from GitHub to other git based code hosting sites.  However, from those sites may be able to mirror a GitHub repo.
+
 1. To contribute from another code hosting site, you must first complete the steps above to fork our repo to a GitHub namespace you have permission to use, example: `https://github.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/`.
 2. Create a repo in your code hosting site, for example: `https://gitlab.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/`
 3. Follow the instructions from your code hosting site to create a mirror between `https://github.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/` and `https://gitlab.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/`.

 ## Notes for squashing commits with rebase
 
 - To rebase your commits and squash previous commits, you can use:
+
     ```bash
     git rebase -i your_topic_branch~(# of commits to combine)
     ```
+
 - For more details visit [gitready.com](http://gitready.com/advanced/2009/02/10/squashing-commits-with-rebase.html)
+
 1. The following would combine the last four commits in the branch `mytopic`.
+
     ```bash
     git rebase -i mytopic~4
     ```
+
 2. An editor window opens with the most recent commits indicated: (edit the commands to the left of the commit ID)
+
     ```gitattributes
     pick 9dff55b2 existing commit comments
     squash ebb1a730 existing commit comments
     squash 07cc5b50 existing commit comments
     reword 9dff55b2 existing commit comments
     ```
+
 3. Save and close the editor. The next editor window opens: (edit the new commit message).  *If you select reword for a commit, an additional editor window will open for you to edit the comment.*
+
     ```console
     new commit comments
     Signed-off-by: yourname <your email address>
     ```
+
 4. Save and close the editor for the rebase process to execute.  The terminal output should say something like the following:
+
     ```console
     Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/mytopic.
     ```
+
 5. Once you have a successful rebase, and before you sync your local clone, you have to force push origin to update your repo:
+
     ```console
     git push -f origin
     ```
+
